Subject: [PATCH RFC v3 03/26] fs: add scoped_with_init_fs()
Date: Wed, 11 Mar 2026 22:43:46 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260311-work-kthread-nullfs-v3-3-3dd2cbe92ad0@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260311-work-kthread-nullfs-v3-0-3dd2cbe92ad0@kernel.org>

Similar to scoped_with_kernel_creds() allow a temporary override of
current->fs to serve the few places where lookup is performed from
kthread context or needs init's filesytem state.
